Grimslade was the ancestral home of Grimbold, a lesser Marshal of the Mark. Nothing is known of the location of this structure other that it stood in the Westfold of Rohan.[1] The word "slade" seems to imply that the house was either in a clearing or on a hillside.
Etymology
The name Grimslade is modernized from Old English Grimslaed representing Rohirric.[2]
It comes from Grim, which Tolkien describes as "evidently the name of an ancestor", and slade, "forest glade, dell on the slope of a hillside" widely used in English place-names.[3]

- Grimslade is a small town in Westfold, located between Edoras and Helm's Deep but closer to the latter. When Grimbold left with Prince Theodred for the Fords of Isen, the duties of Grimslade's Thane fell to his wife Hildith. On 3 March of Third Age 3019 Grimslade is attacked by Saruman's half-orcs who intend to burn it, but the attackers are repelled by the forces of Elfhelm during their march towards Edoras.
